Iran Claims Strikes on Two Supertankers in Hormuz
🛢️ HORMUZ — Supertankers carry 2M barrels each; two hits means 4M barrels in jeopardy. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: VLCCs are the spine of Gulf crude exports — each carries what smaller tankers can't. Iran hitting two simultaneously signals a shift from harassment to strategic disruption. CENTCOM's 20-vessel coordination corridor now faces a direct test: if supertankers won't transit, coordinated passage collapses and the strait closes economically even if technically open.
